OH should be getting a letter within 2 weeks with a date to go and have a colonoscopy.


Everything should be fine ......... this is the 5 year checkup, and he hasn't had any problems, symptoms, etc.


But this is the time when it does bring it back to mind


just as I start to worry about 2 weeks before I have to go for my annual mammogram ........ which I have to do in just over 2 weeks from now!

Even though I have been clear for 15 years .....................................


there is always that little "what if ......" feeling

Hi Sylvia,

Same weather here, I think we have skipped Autumn and gone straight to Winter.

Lots of people at work very grumpy or depressed which I amsure is connected to the days of horrible weather we have had!

Have a bit of a dilemma in my tree. I'm missing a body in a cemetery! I have this person's death certificate which tells me which cemetery she was buried in. My problem is that the cemetery insists they never received her and all the surrounding ones don't have a record of her either. This was in the 1940's so a fairly recent burial in the scheme of things!

Wonder if this has happened to anyone else?

That "what if" is awful isn't it! I have to go into hospital for an appointment next month as lots of problems in an ovary..and it has been playing on my mind a lot. I've been keeping a record of all the causes of death taken from the death certificates I have. I'm a bit shocked how many times cancer and heart related problems figure in my family (even down to my parents!) Makes you wonder how many of these conditions are genetically related.

Hi Lesley

nice to see you back.


Breakfast is usually available from about 7 am - ish


or just before I go to bed!!!

Hi Grace

Sorry to hear that. I hope all will be well.

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you.


Colo-rectal cancer does occur in families, and has an inherited aspect to it.

We know that OH's father died of colo-rectal cancer in the mid-1980s, and we are sure that his mother (ie OH's grandmother) died of it in the 1920s ................. her death certificate does not say clearly, but what she died of is usually a result of it.


That makes it quite unusual apparently in being a female -> male -> male possible inheritance

As a result, OH's sister was told to go for examination ASAP ....... it took her 2 years to get around to it!

But, more importantly, sis-i-l's 3 children and our daughter are under instructions to go for examination when they turn 40 ..... which is 10-20 years earlier than for people who do not have this possible inheritance.

The good thing is that early detection of it has very good results. Ignoring it, or the symptoms, does not.


My breast cancer is not the inheritd form, so tha has not moved my duaghter up into a higher risk category.


I am sure that, as we learn more and more, that more and more cancers will have an inherited aspect ................. as well as the result of possible exposures to some of the chemicals that have been used over the last 30 or 40 years.

It's been interesting in that respect, I've had to go and work out what the old terms menat as compared to what they are called now.

Interestingly (or to me anyway) when I had my daughter, I contracted a form of staph in teh hospital. Unfortunately I then had a further two episodes of it, once in my face going up to my eyes and it was awful. Then I received a death certificate for a great auntie and found that she had died of exactly the same thing when her daughter was the same age as mine.

Only difference was I could be hooked up to an IV and pumped with lots of antibiotice...I don't know what they would have given her for pain relief then..(if you had it as bad as she did now they have to perform neurosurgery behind your eyes). All I could think was the poor woman...or girl really as she was only 25.

All of my mums side have passed with a type of cancer. I assume they worked with a lot of chemicals back in their day as a lot of them were ship builders and iron moulders, so goodness knows what they were exposed to.

Grace


that sounds really nasty!

Good morning all!

Lovely breakfast again Sylvia - anyone going to join me or shall I have to eat it all myself?

Dea x

I'll join you Dea, but only for a moment as it's Tuesday and a rushed day!

Thanks Sylvs.......needed that coffee.



Gulp.....~~~~~~bye everyone. See you later......~~~~~~

Just grabbing a crumpet before Dea eats the lot......

I got broken into last night!
The B***ers took my dictionary and my scrabble board. I tell you friends, I'm lost for words!
...................................................................................

Received the cert I ordered from Holywell yesterday.... today.!

Got 2 from Bala today that were ordered yesterday as well...Trouble is that one is wrong.!
AND I stated mothers name of Ellinor,and the one they have sent is mother JANE....Sigh...Back on the phone..

But cant beat the service provided for speed though.

Jonesey re your reply on the chance on finding the correct “Evans” is the reason why I probably will never be able to find who my father is. I am the product of a “war liason” and was never officaly informed by any in the family as to whom my mother was until the day she died in 2002. It was always the norm in the household that, to my brother (1/2?? Brother) my aunts and uncles were my “brothers and sisters” and my Grandmother and Grandfather as mum and dad. A little difficult to comprehend with my uncle and I having the same name, he was always referred to as big Robert and I wee Robert.
After my mothers death in 2000 of course the worst kept family secret had to be exposed as my brother and I were called upon to settle the estate. None of the remaining members of that generation are aware of any of the circumstances or are unwilling to disclose anything other than my father was either in the army or air force, from Wales. From my 3 given names, one being Evans, I would assume that my father is an Evans from Wales. As this is the only info that I have (father’s name not mentioned on bc) I stand the chance of the proverbial snowball of ever knowing that side of my family.
After joining GR in 2007 I found that I had a cousin that I never knew existed, another “wartime liason” with an aunt. I finally after many telephone calls and emails, met her last year, documented on youtube. As in my case the remaining aunts and uncle want nothing to do with her, even trying to get me to break off any contact with her, “we don’t want to have that scandal known”, again professing any knowledge of ever knowing of her existence.

Talk about the stubbornness and closed mindset of the Northern Irish.

Just had to get that off my chest.

Hi all

My Norton anti virus thingy runs out next week and the want £65

Mcafee an excellent product (I always used before getting free protection from my ISP 39.99

Jax,

I and millions of others use AVG as our anti virus software. It is free, updated automatically on a daily basis and works extremely well. When I bought my new computer earlier this year it came with Norton installed but I trust AVG to such an extent I removed Norton and replaced it with AVG.

You can download it from several sites but I usually get it via www.filehippo.com
